My best advice is spend all your money as fast as you can when you get there.
I spent $6500 in 45 days when I first landed back in '97. From that point on it was survival mode, and I learned pretty quickly how to stretch a dollar. Me and my pal (fellow poster Saltwater Cowboy) lasted 11 months living mainly in Byron Bay and Brisbane, sleeping on floors, drinking $4 box wine, and chasing easy women. We worked for accommodation, picked up odd jobs, and generally did a whole lot of nothing all day other than surf and nap.
Best time of my life.
